So that's the end of the series. I've tried to give some insight into what happened behind the scenes on a very large software project. All the articles can be found on the series page.

The aim throughout has been to add something of a human dimension to guardian.co.uk -- something that most people would ordinarily see on their screen and probably not give too much thought to. I've also tried to show how large technology projects can succeed, despite their very high and visible failure rate.

The entire series has been aligned with purpose of the Inside... blog: to allow us to live up to our ideal of openness. So if there are other areas of our work that you'd like to hear about then please let me know.
